Everson Griffen, DE, Vikings - 8 tackles (7 solo), 3 sacks and a forced fumble
The pass rush specialist was at his very best Sunday tormenting Kyle Orton en route to tying his career-high with three sacks in a game. Griffen signed a monster $42.5 million contract in the offseason, and he has rewarded Minnesota with seven sacks this season, which ties for second in the NFL. "Without my team, I wouldn't be able to get three sacks," Griffen said. "I'm just very happy to be playing with these guys, and we just have to bounce back and win the game. That's all we have to do."Best of the Rest
